Polymeric ligands as homogeneous, reusable catalyst systems for copper assisted click chemistry.

Tris-(benzyltriazolylmethyl)amine (TBTA) has been immobilized onto a styrenic monomer and subsequently copolymerized with styrene to afford catalytically active and reusable copolymers for the CuAAC reaction.

Facile one pot synthesis of a range of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents.

The application of a universal synthetic strategy for the high yielding and facile synthesis of a wide range of functional RAFT agents including trithiocarbonates, xanthates and dithiocarbamates is described.
